Three children from the Indian agency

1t is probable that a number OF our cit
izens will go to Denver on the 10th inst.
to hear Patti in that city. Excursion
rates can very likely be obtained.
Natural gas has been discovered in the
Bad lands OF Montana. Wyoming has an
inexhaustible supply of it, owing to its
immense coal deposits. 1t will be u.il-
lied at an early day.
Tho Scandinavian Singing Society of
this city will give a grand ball and concert
at Library hall, Friday evening, Feb. IL.
A good patronage is expected as this is
the first entertainment OF the kind ever
given in Cheyenne, and the singing will
undoubtedly be a treat.
The valley of Lower Horse creek, in
this county, seems to be & good place to
winter in. The other day Tom Rutledge
went out to his field to look at a fine and
valuable Hereford calf, which had been
born recently, and on walking through
his garden he picked a strawberry plant
in bloom. He very appropriately named
the new calf Strawberry Blossom.
A singular freak OF the wind of last
week is visible in a Deadwood, D. t.,
building. A piece of the roof of a store,
about seven feet wide and twelve feet
long, was lifted up, carried across the
building and deposited some distance off.
The hole has every appearance of having
been made with a saw and Ratchet, and so
artistically and clean cut as to give the APP
pearance Of having been done by an ex-
pert carpenter.
The usually well-posted and w:de-awake
editor of the Denver Ne,cs made a big
blunder last Sunday, when he furnished
an editorial paragraph discussing the
probability of the presidents approval OF
the inter state bill-threc days
after the bill had become a law by Presi-
dent Cleveland's signature. This error,
however, can be easily explained by the
statement that the foreman dumped into
the form a paragraph which had been put
in type several days before, but left out
for want of space.
A boy who lived in the states until
he was s years old recently moved to
Cheyenne. In his former home he had at
tended church regularly where he heard
the doctrine Of future punishment strenu-
ously preached. In Sunday school, re-
Gently, his teacher told her little folks
about some trivial misdemeanor which
had been committed by some naughty
boys. Won't God punish them?' asked
the youngster. The teacher, taken by
surprise, hesitated. We'll, there's a
God down in Ohio that would punish
them. anyhow remarked our young
friend before the teacher could answer.
1t is 50 very seldom hat first-class the
atrical talent appears on the boards of
Cheyenne theaters, that the audience at
the ITALIA theater, last Thursday, did not
anticipate the excellent entertainment
furnished by the Thalia Club, assisted by
such perfect actresses as Mrs. Bartholdy-
Engels and Mrs. WOLF, and such singers
and comedians as Messrs. Schneider. Pam
Engels and Albert. BY general request
these celebrated artists will appear once
more this evening at Keefe's hall, in an
operetta entitled, Uncle Becker's His
tory, and in a duct from the opera of
martha. The social dance after the
performance is not the least of the even
ing's attractions. Admission so cents.
